Flex Mobile and Flash Builder Tips and Tricks

Video: Default Flex Mobile Theme vs. iOS Theme Concept

To demo the project from my previous post, I recorded a video of the same application running on Android and iOS side-by-side. This is all done with a single code base that relies on Spark skinning (from Flex 4), CSS media queries (from Flex 4.5) and some skinning optimization practices that the Flex SDK uses for mobile skins.

There’s been a little confusion, so to clear things up, this isn’t officially part of the Flex 4.5 SDK. I built this project mainly to demo how far you can take AIR, Flex and Flash Builder across multiple screens and multiple platforms…all from a single code base! I hope this video and the sample code will get developers excited about building Flex apps for mobile.
